Replacing/Swapping Rear Light Bar


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

 

I just bought a 2018 SEL and realized that the rear light bar on the trunk lid doesn't light up light the Platinum trim. So my question:

 

- Has anyone here swapped out their non-working light bar with a functioning light bar? (I have an option to buy a light bar from a 2018 Platinum Trim Model)

- If so, care to share the details?

 

Thanks in advance!

There are several threads on this topic, here is one I found:

if you just want more visibility in the rear for oncoming traffic, why not some strips of red LEDs? I put these on my hitch
